GP Police Jailed Young Woman for Hurting Father by Throwing Vape Pen at Him
Grants Pass Police jailed a young woman for assaulting her father with a vape pen at a northeast city residence early yesterday.
The Police Department reports officers responded to a domestic disturbance at a home in the 900-block of NE Savage Street on Monday shortly before 10 a.m..
Police said an 18-year-old woman called 9-1-1 to report that her father had pulled a knife on her, but an investigation determined the father removed the knife from the reach of the young woman who has a history of threatening others with knives.
After officers interviewed witnesses at the scene, the teenager admitted to getting angry with her father and throwing a vape pen at his head. The impromptu weapon broke skin on her father and he was bleeding, but he refused medical treatment.
While being placed into custody, the young woman admitted she had meth in her room and a small amount was seized for destruction.
The young suspect was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Felony 2nd-Degree Assault and Felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon. She was being held without bail. A charge of Meth Possession was forwarded to the District Attorney's Office for consideration.
